WHERE GOES THE GARBAGE
By George Castillo
Jackson County is currently grappling with a problem
which should serve as an object lesson to Douglas County.
It involves, of all things, a garbage dump. The Med
ford garbage disposal company is quitting the site of the
old dump and is in the process of starting another.
The nresent dumn is in the city limits in an area which
is quickly being developed and the company is attempting
to find a more acceptable site where tne reeK ana unpleas
ant appearance will be removed from population centers
and still be within economical transport distance.
The problem is simple but its solution is becoming ex
tremely thorny.
The company finally found a canyon near Jacksonville,
bought a 360-acie plot of land, put in roads and otherwise
develoned the site. It had reason to sit back and beam
happilv. The site was hidden in the canyon, drainage was
away from population centers and the smells were waited
far from sensitive noses.
Then, the axe fell. People of Jacksonville suddenly de
cided it was time to protest. They are now thumping the
drum for a spot zoning ordinance to shut the company out
of the site. That is, they want to make just the area in
which the dump is to be situated a zone in which a dump
cannot be placed.
Lesson Elicited
The question of which side is right doesn't affect Doug
las County particularly, but the lesson it should promote
deserves plenty of county consideration. That lesson is
that countywide zoning as part of an overall planning pro
gram would probably have served to make such a battle
improbable. ,
The garbage dump could only have been placed in an
area away from areas of population if zoning were in ef
fect. Zones would have been set up for the very purpose
after long preliminary study and mapping by the planning
commission. The company would have known where it
could set up the dump, and the people would be protected
from the noxious eyesore. 4
This is a dramatic example of the need for such zon
ing. The same could be applied to such things as junk
yards, foul-smelling paper mills and other installations not
compatible to residential areas.
The most prevalent opposition to zoning is that it is
just another way of government controlling the actions of
the individuals. But controls for the general good of the
people become necessary as populations grow.
The subject is not new to the county. In recent years
Douglas County voters have twice soundly defeated efforts
to establish zoning in the county. It appeared that one of
the major contributing reasons for the defeats was misun
derstanding. Many people got zoning mixed up with build
ing codes and turned down the measure on the basis of a
dislike for enforcement of the code.
Zoning Defeated Twice
Douglas County is not alone in its problem of selling
zoning. Jackson County has also had the measure defeat
ed twice in recent years.
The two counties also have a parallel in that they are
still sparsely enough populated that advance planning will
save them many headaches such as the location of Med-,
ford's city dump in the future.
At best, rapid growth of populations bring about se
vere problems. That's why any planning that can be done
before dense populations arrive will avert many problems
as the growth takes place.

Critics Of Centennial

Concern expressed last week by

our driver, has his own safety pro

Any driver's personal habits are
a key to safety practices. Courtesy
is always the best practice for any
driver and works wonders at keep

inconsideration of other drivers
will also help. Anger at the over
aggressive driver is always a haz

A driver's mental attitude is im

Human beings are all alike and
different at the same time. Our
similarities are broad but our dif
ferences are minute and specific.
We are born with individuality but
we amplify-our basic differences
with our experiences, our mental
reactions and our attitudes.
These differences make it diffi
cult to understand the other per
son. We do not have the same
interests and desires. Our reactions
gain acceptance for us or they
cause us trouble. Much of our
daily conflict could be voluntarily
eliminated if we set our goals on
a high level of spiritual objective.
We must aim to serve others
and to help them along the way.
We must strive to give satisfaction
rather than to merely satisfy our
selves. We need to love and to
deserve the love of others instead
of demanding that others love us
and sacrifice for us.
